Access to clean water is essential to sustain and provide for the continued development of the world’s population and its economic growth. One of the most urgent concerns today is locating, treating, and conveying sufficient supplies of clean water to meet the needs of our communities and protect public health. Strategies for treatment and conveyance of water continue to evolve, along with engineering and technological developments and the need for new water supplies.

In response to an industry need for a standardized approach to conducting pump system assessments, the Hydraulic Institute (HI) has developed the Pump Systems Assessment: Body of Knowledge (PSABOK). Developed by subject matter experts and industry leaders, HI has collected and harmonized the various factors that comprises a pump system assessment into a comprehensive and easy to understand guide.

This document provides a technical guideline on flexible couplings used in pump applications. It provides a basic understanding of the various coupling types, information required to make basic coupling selections based on system requirements, and a general understanding of the installation and maintenance practices associated with each type of coupling.

This guideline has been created to provide pump industry professionals and the end user operators of pumps with the knowledge required to apply variable speed pumping so that it will result in improved energy efficiency and increased reliability. This intension of this guidebook is to educate the pumping industry and to ensure the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of the pumping equipment we all depend on every day.
